Abstract in brief

The study analyzed COVID-19 mortality rates in Nigeria during the first and second waves, finding that the mortality rate was higher in the first wave (5.425 per 100,000 person-days) compared to the second (1.919).
Key factors increasing the risk of death included being over 45 years old, male, showing symptoms, and being hospitalized, with these factors consistently associated with higher mortality in both waves.
The research suggests that Nigeria's public health response and clinical care improved during the second wave, leading to a decrease in mortality rates.
